iRule, Traffic Policy or Re-Write Policy
- Sep 24, 2025
you may see https://hostnameA.test.com:666 in the browser for many reasons
thats why I am asking if there is a redirect response (301 or 302) or there is something else
anyway give this a trywhen HTTP_REQUEST { STREAM::disable HTTP::header remove "Accept-Encoding" if {[IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 192.168.1.1] } { pool POOL_A set selected_hostname "hostnameA.test.com" HTTP::header replace Host $selected_hostname } elseif {[IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 192.168.2.1] } { pool POOL_B set selected_hostname "hostnameB.test.com" HTTP::header replace Host $selected_hostname } elseif {[IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 192.168.3.1] } { pool POOL_C set selected_hostname "hostnameC.test.com" HTTP::header replace Host $selected_hostname } } when HTTP_RESPONSE { if {[HTTP::header exists "Location"] && [info exists selected_hostname]} { set loc [HTTP::header "Location"] if {[string match "https://$selected_hostname:666*" $loc]} { HTTP::header replace "Location" [string map "https://$selected_hostname:666 https://example.com" $loc] } } if {[HTTP::header "Content-Type"] contains "text" && [info exists selected_hostname]} { STREAM::expression "@https://$selected_hostname@https://example.com@" STREAM::enable } }
Hi,
Thought I would feedback, as I couldn't get the response to work.
I have got the source > pool > to re-write working which is great, although it does still show the backend server, its a test environment and is reducing my admin, so thank you
I found your iRule really useful for understanding as well
I think the response isn't working as there is a unusual setup, which does the following
client to uri = https://example.com
F5 rewrites to https://hostnameA.test.com:666
Then there is another redirects that sends to the
F5 rewrites to https://other.test.com:443 (this is returned in the browser)
I'm still looking at it
Thanks
You mention Keycloak,
Do you use as IDP?
You have to check what urls are defined in the config. Either it uses SAML or OAuth
